After A 2 Month Hiatus, India Has Recommenced E-Visa Services For Canadian Citizens.

The Indian government has consistently and categorically refuted “baseless” and “motivated” accusations linking it to the demise of Mr. Nijjar. It has urged Ottawa to provide supporting evidence for its assertions.

According to sources, electronic visa services for Canadian citizens have been reinstated by India after a pause of nearly two months. The suspension of visa services, which began on September 21, was a result of the ongoing diplomatic dispute over Canada’s allegations of the involvement of “agents of the Indian government” in the June killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, in India.

This resumption implies the reinstatement of all visa services, including tourist visas. Last month, services for four categories, including business and medical visas, had already resumed.

In September, India had temporarily halted the issuance of visas to Canadian citizens, stating that it would remain in effect until further notice.

ED Confiscated Assets Worth Rs 752 Crore In National Herald Case Linked To Gandhis.

News Desk

AJL publishes National Herald and is owned by Young Indian Private Ltd. Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, leaders of the Congress party, are the predominant shareholders of Young Indian, each holding a 38% stake.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) announced on Tuesday that it has seized immovable assets and equity shares amounting to approximately Rs 752 crore in the ongoing money laundering investigation related to the Congress-affiliated National Herald newspaper and associated companies.

The Congress party criticized the ED’s actions, labelling them as “vendetta tactics” and accusing the ED of being a “coalition partner” of the BJP, which it asserted is anticipating a certain defeat in the upcoming assembly polls.

The ED had previously questioned individuals including the Gandhis, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, and party leaders Pawan Bansal and D K Shivakumar, along with Karnataka deputy chief minister D K Shivakumar and his brother, MP D K Suresh, last year, recording their statements.

Sources suggest that they might be summoned again for questioning before the ED files a charge sheet in the case.
